Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We were able to spend the time with Dedrick's parents Howard and Janine in Texas. We had the big event on Wednesday, because Howard worked Thanksgiving. The kids had fun hanging out and getting into trouble! I was able to help make dinner, I have not made a thanksgiving dinner EVER! We simply enjoyed the wonderful time together.

I am grateful for all the wonderful blessing in my life! I have my three wonderful children, a silly, goofy husband, and supporting family!

Goals

I have been thinking alot about goals! How most of the time I can do them with no problems. Then comes the important ones that I can never finish or give up on! So the over the past month I have been thinking hard on these few and asking myself why are they hard for me? So I the three goals that I give up on are..

1-Daily Prayer
2-Scripture Study
3-Exercise

Prayer is hard for me because it seems that when I pray bad things always happen!

Reading scriptures I have really never done, except when giving a lesson. I never had the opportunity to learn in a broken home. Yeah I was raised in the church, but my parents only cared about themselves and never taught my brothers and I.

Exercise is even a hard one because I am a medical mystery to most doctors. I have a back problem and my right elbow is stuck at an angle. The doctors do not know what is causing any of this and they do not want to do surgery because they do not know what caused the problems to begin with. So they have told me that I can not really to anything.

So I decides to start small and work my why up! With prayer I try at least once a day. Scripture study I read for 5 min a day. Exercise I am doing great, thanks to my wonderful in-laws. They got me a gym membership and I have talk to a trainer. So I go any were from 1h to 2h a day!

I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!

Leaves

In the new house we have several trees. We have been meaning to rake the leaves up for about a week. Yesterday Dedrick and the kids tackled the front yard, needless to say they played more than raked. Yet they did some raking to get this big pile!

Family Portrait

We had the opportunity to take family pictures today! Last year was to crazy to take any with Dedrick in his last year of school. Hope you enjoy them, the kids had fun taking them. We love our three angels!

Happy Halloween

We had a pretty good Halloween. We did not do much this year, because dad was out of town. The kids didn't want to do anything without him. We went to the Trunk or Treat for our ward. We made orange cupcakes and frosted them. Watched scary movies till about midnight. My kids love scary movies, perfect for this time of year!
